NSS sacks last-minute recruits

The National Service Scheme (NSS) has sacked some of its staff who were recruited during the transition process.

This was based on the advice of the Education Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku-Prempeh.

The scheme is the first state agency to sack staff whose recruitment coincided with the exit of the previous administration.

According to the statement terminating their engagement: “This decision has been informed by a thorough consideration of violations of due process prior to the recruitment” by the scheme’s immediate past boss, Michael Kpessa Whyte.

“Management therefore wishes to advise persons affected by this decision to look forward to a new opportunity to have the staff recruitment properly carried out,” the statement signed by the Acting Executive Director of the scheme, Ussif Mustapha added.

But speaking in an interview on Starr Today with Naa Dedei Tettey, Mr. Whyte described the claim of him ignoring due process as preposterous.

“There was nothing like ignoring any request from the Public Services’ Commission,” he said.

He explained that the Commission wrote to the scheme granting the request for the recruitment of the staff stating that “following that technical clearance, the ministry of finance had also given clearance for the recruitment.”

The process, he said started by advertising in the papers and as “I indicated earlier on the board approved so that given the exigency of the situation and the fact that the ministry of finance has placed a limitation on the time within which the recruitment can take place.

“We noticed that the board as an institution empowered by the National Service Act to recruit does not have the capacity to engage all the people and do that…so in the best wisdom of the board we should absolve the process to expert and professionals who have the capacity to ensure that we have the best human resource for the scheme and that was done.”
